like our bill, the agriculture appropriations bill, the commerce, justice, and science bill, the department of defense bill, energy and water, homeland security, legislative branch, military construction and veterans' affairs and the state department and foreign operations bills were all reported from the appropriations committee on a bipartisan basis. in putting together all of these bills, the appropriations committee functioned the way committees are supposed to. we worked together to develop thoughtful and fiscalfully -- fiscally responsible bills that could be brought to the senate for full consideration, debate, amendment and most likely, passage. but instead, mr. president, not a single one of those bills, not even those bills for which the counterpart has been passed by the full house, was brought to the senate floor. i'm very disappointed that the house and senate leaders have announced that rather than consider and complete these appropriations bills, they would instead kick the can down the road by passing a six-month stopgap funding bill. and the house has done just that, and wi

member of the house energy & commerce. let me ask as some of the things that congress will not accomplish this year. the farm bill, why such an inability to get a major piece of legislation to a republican- controlled house? guest: well, it is republican house but a democrat said. you have got to keep that in mind. i think the primary reason is that some of the more conservative republicans, and i am certainly consider myself to be a conservative republican, want to really take a look at the costs in not just the farm program but all the programs. so you have a disagreement, if that is the right term, about the spending levels. having said that, i think the majority of the house republicans would vote for a farm bill if it is critical on the floor and some amendments are made in order so some of these issues can be worked out through the regular order on four votes. and hopefully when we come back in november after the election, we will get that worked out. host: giving full courtesy to the "new york times," which has been
